| Caviar Origin ... a Vertu-inspired phone |
Usually, the Russian company Caviar buys iPhones from Apple or Galaxy phones from Samsung and puts enough gold and precious stones in them to make them appear to have come from the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
However, the company hopes to do something special with its ready-made 'Caviar Origin' concept.
The company was inspired by luxury phones, Vertu, which created the classic Vertu phones before the attempt to switch from the Nokia S40 to Android failed.
This time, Caviar has mainly chosen Android OS to support apps. WhatsApp has become very popular among Caviar users and other apps are appearing as well.
The Android operating system also allows users to install any required apps. Since WhatsApp is one of the most popular apps for sending and receiving messages to friends, co-workers, and family members, it was originally installed.
There are still few details on the new Caviar phone, and it is unclear if it will have a touchscreen.
Caviar has redesigned the user interface as before to use flexible keys, and there is a standard keyboard for entering numbers and text.
The company has yet to decide what materials to use for the phone as the device you see in the photos and videos is just a prototype.
Caviar Origin will start at $ 1,000 without a cap in the fourth quarter of this year because the cost of minerals and gem stones far exceeds the cost of electronic devices, the company said.
According to reports, this is not the first Android phone with a keyboard, as there have been some examples, but they are foldable phones like the LG Wine Smart.
According to the company, this is a classic and conservative model for people who like one with simple personal data protection function and exclusive luxury design.
